[2] During the First World War, a British officer - David Compton - on leave from the trenches in Paris falls in love with and has a liaison of three days with a French performing artist: Deloryse/Lola.

After returning to fight on the front, he suffers from shell shock and forgets everything that happened in the last four years.

After recovering he goes back to his wealthy life of rich industrialist, marries a British Socialite, with whom he runs entirely separate lives.

She is excited, but when Doctor Gavron visits her, he measures her pulse and tells her, that she has to give up the stage, as the strain might kill her, even if she dances once more.

But he is now married to a British Socialite: Vesta Compton, who never wanted children, to the big regret of her husband.

The film featured a theme song entitled "Sunshine Of My Heart" with words and music by Jay Whidden and Fred May.
